Abstract: The invention relates to a switch (1) which is preferably arranged on the steering wheel of a motor vehicle, having a switch lever (10) which projects from a housing (9) arranged to the side of the steering column (3) and which is movably mounted at least in a plane with respect to the steering column (3). This switch lever (10) which can be moved in the plane is connected operatively to switch elements (11) arranged on a printed circuit board (12) in order to actuate them. The switching elements (11) serve in turn to trigger functions such as flasher lamps, windscreen wipers, a windscreen washing system and the like on the vehicle. At least one of the switch elements (11) on the printed circuit board (12) is constructed as an optical light transmitting and/or light receiving element (14, 15; 37, 35a, 35b) which is optically connected to an optical switch (16, 16', 27a, 27b, 36, 55, 55'). The optical switch (16, 16', 27a, 27b, 36, 55, 55') is arranged inside the housing (9) in such a way that the switching process can be effected by the switch lever (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An image input terminal (80,40,50) synchronously transfers image data to a host terminal when the internal data transfer rate of the image input terminal exceeds the data transfer rate of the host terminal. The image input terminal scans the document at a constant rate, but the constant rate is slower than the normal scan rate for the image input terminal, thereby effectively scanning the document at a higher resolution. To realize an apparent internal data transfer rate equal to the data transfer rate of the host terminal, the image input terminal periodically discards or skips scanlines of valid image data to give the host terminal ample time to complete the transfer of valid image data. The image input terminal, to facilitate a synchronous transfer of image data, will skip N-1 scanlines of valid image data out of N scanlines of valid image data such that N is determined by the data transfer rate of the host terminal.

Title: Speech coding device
Inventor: NOMURA TOSHIYUKI
IPC: G10L19/08
Filed: 1996-12-05
Abstract: A speech coding device in which an excitation signal of speech signals is expressed as a sum of a plurality of pulse strings, and positions of the pulse strings are selected from predetermined pulse position candidates to determine the excitation signal so that distortion between an input speech signal and a reproduced speech signal obtained by exciting a synthetic filter using the excitation signal may be minimized, resulting in obtaining reproduced speech signals with high quality in a small operational amount. In a pulse searcher (58), a pulse generating section (11 to 15) outputs a plurality of pulse strings, and a pulse searching section (21 to 24, 31 to 34, 41, 42) sequentially searches the pulse strings to determine the positions of the plurality of pulse strings constituting the excitation signal. One pulse searching section (21 to 24) searches using a Viterbi algorithm. Another pulse searching section (31 to 34) preliminarily searches in a tree shape of pulse position candidates. Another pulse searching section (41, 42) searches every pulse position candidate group. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Optical fibers are fixed to elongating tables by optical fiber fixing jigs. Coatings are removed from portions of the fibers and respective fibers of two different groups are placed into tight contact with one another. The fibers are arranged such that there are gaps therebetween. The fibers are then heated by a gas burner 4A so as to be welded integrally with each other, and are then elongated. These gaps are substantially 250 µm. The gaps are sufficiently wide that heating gas flows in a manner such that all the optical fiber strands are heated uniformly to enable uniform welding and elongation.

Abstract: Apparatus for closing a circuit breaker of a circuit that carries a substantial current includes terminals (W1, W2, W12, W13 and W14) for connection to an available source of electric power. The electric power available is typically 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC. An actuator including an electric motor M and a solenoid S both designed to operate on 24 VDC first cocks charging springs and then releases the charging springs to close the circuit breaker. A controller including a microprocessor U3 is connected to and derives power from the connected terminals and produces a pulse width modulated control signal (RUN; CLOSE) for controlling the actuator. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal is adjusted in relation to the electric power supplied by the selected source so that the power supplied to the motor and relay function effectively as the required 24 VDC power. Sensors J1 sense the condition of the charging springs, a charging cam, the circuit breaker, etc., and prevent operation of the circuit breaker closing apparatus unless all conditions necessary to safe operation are satisfied.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing one or more suction tubes, hoses, electrical and/or endoscopic cables, and intravenous and cardiovascular bypass tubing during an operation. The apparatus is a surgical attachment device that comprises a member (21) (preferably moulded plastic) having at least one opening (22) adjacent a first surface (29a) thereof. A first portion (22a) of each opening is designed to slidably secure the tubes, hoses or cables. A second portion (25) of each opening immediately adjacent the first surface is smaller than the dimension of the first portion. The first portion of each opening tapers from a narrow dimension at the centre of the member to a wide dimension at opposite ends of the member. Each opening has a plurality of inwardly projecting tapered ribs (27) disposed around its internal periphery that taper from their narrowest dimension at the centre of the opening to their widest dimension at the ends of each opening. The inwardmost edges of the plurality of tapered ribs have a dimension nominally equal to or narrower than the narrowest dimension of the tapered opening. The tapered ribs assist in securing the tubes, hoses or cables in the opening and prevent unwanted sliding thereof. The inwardmost edges of the ribs contact the tubes, hoses or cables when they are inserted in the opening. One pair of ribs or projections (26) are larger than the others and are initially encountered when a hose or tube is pressed into the first portion of the opening. This configuration secures the various hoses and tubes, and the like, within the second portion of the opening and prevents their inadvertent pull-out. An adhesive layer (28) is disposed on a second external surface (29b) of the member for securing it to a surgical drape during an operation. The surgical attachment device may be flexible or deformable between the first and second portions of each opening to permit passage of nonflexible tubes, hoses or cables through the second portion of the opening. This may be achieved by adding additional lower slots separated from selected openings by hinge areas that provide for easy flexing of the member at the openings to permit insertion of the tubes, hose, or cables therein. The flexible portion comprises one or more living hinge areas that flex to open each of the openings.

Abstract: When a base station receives a frame error rate from a mobile station (step 202) and finds that the rate is higher than a predetermined rate range (step 203), they increase transmission power level Pf by ΔP (step 204). When the frame error rate is lower than the predetermined rate range (step 205), the base station reduces the transmission power level Pf by ΔP (step 206). When the base station finds that the result D of measurement of the desired wave power level is higher than a predetermined desired control level T (step 207), it provides a level reduction command as transmission power level control command (step 208), and sets (Pf+Padd) as the transmission power level P (step 209). The base station sends the control command to the mobile station. When the desired wave power level measurement result D is lower than the desired control level T (step 207), it provides a level increase command as the control command (step 210). Then, it sets the transmission power level P to be Pf, and sends the control command to the mobile station (step 212).
